My Dragon Talon is between 75 and 85, depending on what i'm fighting. My Dragon Talon does about 4 times the damage of my Blade Fury (though admittedly i've been trying to boost Dragon Talon damage at the expense of higher damage to BF) and hits faster. Blade Fury, on the other hand, is "safer". Personally- not only do i use more Dtalon than BF, i'm regretting putting any points into BF at all. That combined with the Blade Shield bug makes me unhappy with those points. On the other hand, a single point in Death Sentry is being very useful...
